Top 10 IGCSE Schools in Cairo

This guide is written by Tutopiya’s education experts to help families compare IGCSE options.

Cairo has a large market for British and international curricula, including Cambridge IGCSE pathways. Families usually rank schools based on subject breadth, teacher specialism, and how consistently the school runs exam-year routines (mocks, past papers, feedback cycles).

What to ask for (IGCSE outcomes + evidence)

• Subject-by-subject outcomes and number of entries
• IGCSE subject list and options blocks
• How the school structures mock exams and revision support
